Title:
DEVICE AND METHOD FOR ANALYZING ION CHANNELS IN MEMBRANES
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2002066596
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
The invention relates to devices and methods for analyzing ion channels in membranes. The invention is characterized by a biochip with a substrate wherein openings are provided in the form of an MxN matrix for receiving a cell membrane comprising at least one ion channel (l) or an artificial lipid membrane (Me), whereby M >/= 1 and >/= 1.
